Mets vs Reds Prediction
I don’t care who the Mets are throwing out on the bump; I’m not backing them. The Mets are back to their depressing ways, where the offense doesn’t show up, and it wouldn’t be shocking if this team completely checks out at some point. Burns has also been one of the best starters in baseball with a 1.83 ERA and 0.95 WHIP. In 24.2 road innings, Burns has a 1.46 ERA and a .172 allowed batting average. This month, through 25 innings, Burns has allowed 12 hits and 2 runs. He’s an all-star. Give me the Reds.
